Dendrobium Saigon Surprised 'Leanne' x spec 'Chloe'

Introducing a spectacular new Australian Native Dendrobium seedling cross, number 5404. This hybrid, Dendrobium Saigon Surprised 'Leanne' x spec 'Chloe', combines the rich, saturated colour of 'Saigon Surprised' with the renowned vigour and massive flowering habit of the 'speciosum' type parent. This cross is designed to create visually stunning specimen plants with an abundance of deep purple flowers.

Features for Show and Garden

• Rich, Saturated Colour: Expect stunning, deep colouration ranging from magenta to rich wine-purple across the petals and sepals, complemented by a pale throat and a highly contrasting lip. The colour holds well, making a bold statement in the garden or show bench (as seen in the example bloom).

• High Flower Count: Due to the strong influence of the 'speciosum' type parent, this hybrid has the genetic potential to produce long, heavy sprays of flowers, creating a magnificent display when mature (as evidenced by the lower parent image).

• Superior Hardiness: This is an exceptionally vigorous and tough Australian Dendrobium (rock orchid type). It thrives in the Cool to Intermediate climate of Southern Australia, making it reliable for outdoor growing in a shade house or protected patio.

• Reliable Blooming: An easy-care orchid that demands bright light and the necessary cool, dry winter rest period to set profuse buds for a massive bloom display, typically emerging in the Spring.

This hybrid is highly recommended for growers looking to create large, impressive specimen plants with unforgettable colour. Secure your unique Seedling #5404 today!
